Guillermo Gutierrez defeated Efran Buie of Houston 5-0 to win the 114-pound title, while Alex Rios Jr. won at 165 pounds with a 4-1 decision over Donald Reed of Houston.

Two other South Texas boxers finished second. Roberto Rodriguez lost his finals match to Pablo Ramirez of Rio Grande Valley 5-0 at 108 pounds, while Luis Carrasco dropped a 5-0 decision to Michael Dutchover of Twin Cities at 132.

Gutierrez and Rios will now represent South Texas at the national Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions at Salt Lake City in May.
